The Railroad Commission will Enforce
the Fourth Clause

WASHINGTON, May There is reason to
believe from what the members of the COM
mission said before leaving Washington for
the South that the Interstate Commerce
Commission will say to the railways, when
the time fixed for the temporary suspension
of the long and and short haul clause of the
interstate commerce law expires, that they
must go ahead under the law as it
stands, make out their schedules of rates for
long and short hauls, and put them in ac-
tual operation. Then if complaint is made
in any caee the commission will act upon it
separately. The Commissioners think it in
advisable as well as impracticable to
make general decisions in adj
vance of experience They prefer
to apply the law to particular cases. when
they return here they will take mp this mat

ing first blood. Wear also made one
clear knock down in the seventh round, af-
ter which Clark fought entirely ON his
gameness, taking terrific punishment.
CLARK was badly beaten man. He strug-
glel hard. but it was an uphill fight to the
finish. AT the end of the twentieth round

their man was unable TO see, one eye being
closed and the other nearly SO, and he was
too weak to come to time. The opinion of
the sporting men present was that "The
